007, Star Trek, Kitt, Yo Joe, and Monster Cable Rip Off

007 Teaser Poster - Bond 22 is coming and the teaser poster for "Quantum of Solace" is out. Not particularly impressive to me. The movie will be in theatres November 7th, 2008.

Star Trek Remastered - "New" episodes are out coming out as the Star Trek Re-mastered project continues. The next completed episode to air is "The Ultimate Computer". The project is designed to update the TOS with better effects, improved picture quality and sound while retaining the "feel" effects wise from the series. Comparisons shots and where to find the show are at the link.

K.I.T.T.'s New Voice - Do to contract with General Motors Will Arnett could not do the voice of KITT for the upcoming Knight Rider movie/pilot. Somehow NBC managed to tag Val Kilmer for the role instead. If the show does well and gets ordered as a series they may regret that decision as has-been movie stars tend to be very demanding, expensive and high maintenance.

G.I. Joe Finds a Cover Girl - The casting for the GI Joe Movie continues, this time with the casting of Czech model Karolina Isela in the role of Cover Girl. The character is a Joe member who uses her good looks to help in missions.

A-Team Script Review - A movie is in the works based on the 80s series and apparently the script is pretty darn good and invokes the series very well. The reviewer was very pleased and especially got joy out of the idea of tanks being tossed at jets.

Monster Cable Rip-Off - In case you didn't know, never buy Monster Cables. They are overpriced rip off that do nothing different then the cheaper versions. If anything use the Monster Cable con as a way to tell if a salesman is honest or not. If some guy tries to sell you them for the "superior sound and video" then you know not to trust him and go elsewhere. If want to know why stores sell them and push them then check out the link to see the high market (up to 80%) on the cables and other links to why Monster is a rip off.
